Anybody notice the dynamic of their competing body language? Obama's hard stance of superiority and Netanyahu's stance of imploring Obama not to be a hot-shot idiot and actually listen to what I have to say.

I think Obama looked like he was trying to control his nearly uncontrollable anger at Bibi who clearly was putting him in his place.
ReplyDelete(I have a few qualms with what Bibi was saying regarding a Palestinian State, but that's for a different post.)
I couldn't get over Obama's grip on the far arm of his chair. Also Obama looks much more fashionable than wise.
ReplyDeleteTwo things I especially liked in what Netanyahu said: 9 miles is half the width of the DC beltway region, and stating Israel's existence as the manifestation of our history.
I was waiting for the armrest to snap in two from his deathgrip.
ReplyDeleteKol Hakavod Bibi. The President needed to hear it and I hope he did hear it.
ReplyDeleteObama was cool and quiet. To me, it looked like he was allowing the condemned man his final words.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was about history not giving the Jewish people another chance.
ReplyDeleteSorry Obama, we won't go quietly into that good night.

This is just the beginning. Let's see if the P.M. Can keep the momentum, once he is back in Israel.
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to know whether to be happy or not. Of course I'm happy that Bibi decided to show some backbone, but a Palestinian state even with Israel retaining all currently populated Jewish areas over the green line will be really bad for Israel.
ReplyDeleteBibi bends over for the settlers again--and again--and again
